VS Code 1.110 Insiders adds native browser integration for AI agents (page element interaction, screenshots, console logs) and — critically — sandbox isolation for local MCP servers. MCP servers must now explicitly request file and network access instead of running unrestricted. This is the first mainstream IDE to sandbox MCP servers at the runtime level, directly addressing the 36.7% SSRF exposure rate found across MCP server deployments.
